Mr. Davis noted that the <br />woman was just asking :for <br />clarification as to whether she was <br />going to lose her home. <br />• Woman noted that kids are only in the <br />park in the day time. Perhaps a <br />walkway for the kids? And people <br />don't want to lose their park, but <br />better to lose a park vs. a <br />neighborhood. <br />• Someone said that with 8,000 <br />additional cars coming in to the <br />Fellows /Ireland intersection, he <br />thinks they may not all be wanting to <br />go on into downtown, but rather <br />intend to do shopping along Ireland. <br />Spending $6 million to do all this <br />before we know we need to is an <br />awful a lot of money. There are street <br />counts that he's gotten from up in <br />Mishawaka that Ireland can handle <br />the amount of.cars,that are projected <br />to go each direction. Why not wait <br />and see if there really is a problem? <br />• Gentleman asked Mr. Durr if Option <br />A, from an engineering standpoint, is <br />the best choice. Mr. Durr responded <br />that Option A is an optimal choice. It <br />meets everything that's needed to be <br />done. But it is also important to get a <br />decision made and go forward with it. <br />People are tired of not knowing. <br />• Woman requested that the city just <br />take the houses. It's been over two <br />years and the residents are tired of the <br />indecision. <br />16 <br />
